Hello,
I am trying to load a Haskell module in a C program as a
dynamically-loaded plugin via FFI.
I am able to compile and link successfully, but I find the following crash.
#0 0x00007f16147da9e7 in ?? () from /usr/lib/ghc/libHSrts_debug-ghc7.4.1.so
#1 0x00007f16147e0970 in hs_init_ghc () from

#14 0x0000000000453d20 in main ()
In the trace above, one can see that I am linking against the debugging
Haskell runtime. hs_init_ghc is called with dual NULL arguments. Is that
cause for concern?
I noticed that RtsStartup.c does some questionable stuff in a module
context right away, such as calling "setlocale". Are there other things
I need to watch out for?
Do I need to build ghc from source in order to debug this further? Any
advice would be appreciated. This is on Ubuntu 12.04.
Cheers,
M
